# A better way to be thankful on Thanksgiving

Something to think about this Thanksgiving (for those who celebrate it, for everyone else it's World of Warcraft's PIlgrim's Bounty): Don't just be thankful for the things you have in your life that you appreciate. That's good and a good start, but if you want to take it to a different level, ask yourself this: **How can I create or foster more of what I'm thankful for in the world?**

- If you're thankful for family and friends, how can you help reinforce strong family and good friends in the world for others?

- If you're thankful for health, how can you bring a healing presence to those around you?

- If you're thankful for wealth, how can you help others achieve what you've done?

**In short, what do you stand for? What do you want to see more of? How can you create more of that in the world, in your community, in your life?**As you do your prayers, meditations, gatherings, and offerings over the holiday (or any day, really), think about that cornucopia on the table. From nothingness appears a Pilgrim's Bounty of what's needed to bring life, health, and prosperity to your life. **Ask how you can create more of that for yourself and everyone you care about and the universe (or *.deity if that's your belief system) may just agree to a win-win situation in which everyone gets more of what they want and need in your life.**Happy Pilgrim's Bounty! ---
